#101: 139L Aquatic Garden Rocky Mountains

Kwong King Man, Harry Ma Tau Wai Estate, Hong Kong

Comments

This is a lovely layout but The Limnophila needed to fill in more and grow taller for a better effect. I also don't care for your placement of the red Cabomba. Not only is it inappropriate to place a fast growing stem plant in the front of a tight design like this but it does nothing for your aquascape in this position even if it would stay short. It draws the eye away from your exceptionally nice rockwork in a jarring way. The Cabomba is a prety plant and could still be used as an accent in your tank but why not move it to a better location... perhaps peaking out behind the left side of the right rear rock?

Is difficult to create a composition that uses rocks as the main hard scape element.
You did well you managed to use different species of plants to create harmony.
My only comment is the Cabomba spp. I don't think it should be there even for the picture it takes viability to your design I think.

Excellent arrangement of iwagumi. Top notch composition and planting skill. The spectacular view of moutains is well represented.
